Yevgeniy Fedorov, world road cycling champion:
— Preparations for the competition took me a very long time. It took the team I race for more than a year to prepare for the challenge. I have been racing for this team for two years now. I’d like to thank everyone involved for the training: Alexander Vinokurov, Nurlan Erkebulanovich, our sponsor. And thanks a lot for such a gift.
